Benefit BADgal Lash Mascara - Review!

Mascaras are my new obsession. My current hauls are filled with mascaras. So be ready to get a look on a lot of mascaras that I will be reviewing here. I have heard raving reviews about benefit mascaras, so I wanted to get  my hands on few of them. Sadly, they all cost a bomb, making a huge hole in my pocket. This  my friend is not a compromise I make easily. I’m a frugal girl. I just can’t spend on mascara a lot because I’ll have to toss it out in maximum in 5 to 6 months. So, I ordered a sample sized kit of Benefit products from Luxola.com.

All the reviews from that kit will be reviewed soon, but as of now I have been using  Badgal Lash Mascara. Now let’s find out whether I loved it or not.

My Experience with BADgal Lash Mascara

As I have mentioned earlier, I have sparse eye lashes and I want something which brings volume to the same. At the same time, I don’t want something which clumps on my lashes as well. One thing is for sure, this mascara takes care of both the aspects.

It lengthens and brings volume to the lashes with clumping.  The brush is huge and fluffy so it defines and separates the lashes well too.

On the downside, you need multiple coats for it to look voluminous. Also, the wand is so huge that it becomes really difficult to coat the lower lashes. The formula is light and dries out fast enough but at the same time it smudges and doesn’t hold my lashes in place for too long. Product just vanishes from the eyelashes in few hours.

It is an amazing mascara for daily purpose but for the dramatic look or long wear,  I can’t really rely on this.

For the price that it cost, I just wish it had a little more to offer.

Rating – 3.25/5

Will I repurchase? No, I won’t. I would not like to spend this much on mascara which is meant for routine basis.
